poppyseedheart What it says on the tin, folks! I mentioned this on twitter but here are some more longform thoughts about ringing in the first (messy, full of holes, in need of revision) 102k draft of this fic. I started writing this fic last nanowrimo, so it has been a little over a year.
For those new to the wip, I've mugged Emma by Jane Austen in an alley, run off with eveyrthing I could carry, and used those plot threads to inform a story set in modern day Seoul where Hyunjin is an influencer, Felix is an ASMR YouTuber, several of the cast work at the LGBT center, and everyone is doing their best and kind of making a mess of it. It's my first attempt at a full-length romcom, which has been both intimidating and a lot of fun, and it includes lots of social media elements — texting, instagram posts, youtube posts — that I can't wait for future me to figure out how to format onto AO3. We'll see.
Emma AU (which does have a real title, I promise) is a romantic comedy and a coming of age story and a little bit satirical and I hope you can feel how much of my heart is in it! Why does this feel like an ad! I'm just excited!
Revisions are gonna be a lot. I went into this project with the full intention of drafting loosely and pulling it together at the end, in part because I did want to test run a novel-length story and go through a full process of outlining, writing, and making it into something I'm proud to share. I'm going ot start actually revising after nano, I think, because revisions don't tend to yield much of a word count a lot of the time and I'm still trying to win for the month, but I am hoping for this to be ready in the next couple of months. Maybe for my birthday... we'll see.
Anyway, that's an update! Thank you to anyone who has been cheering me on along the way, you all know how long this has been in the works and in my brain, and it's gonna be such a joy to unleash it upon the world, FINALLY!
